THE FoRDs' SEASON.
Successful Opening and the Promise
of SatiSfactnru Embellishments

/
of Satisfactory Entertainments.
| The Fords opened their season last night
under circumstances that were gratifying to
| the management and to the public. The audi
ence was large, critical and appreciative
| and the performance was all that was ex-
pected, or could be desired The Fords have
! catered to the amusement-loving portion of
the public for several summers, and ALWAYS
with gratifying success. The present sea-
son, however, Judging from last nights per-
tormance, will surpass any previous one.
This is not to be wondered at, because the
organization has shown a steady improve
ment, both in the talent it has secured and
IN the finish and completeness of its per-
formances.
The play last night was eThe Marble
Hearth 1t afforded splendid opportunity
to bring out the full resources of the COM
pany, and the opportunity was improved
The favorites of last year We're quickly
| recognized and applauded and very hearty
| applause greeted the best efforts of all who
were i'll the cast.

Mr. Lawrence Hanley sustained the leading
part, and right well did he sustain it, While
in some of the situations he may not have
reached his ideal of it, he nevertheless
showed a power of expression and a finish
IN acting that was very gratifying to those
who have watched his course since he en-
tered upon his present career. He was very
ably supported by Mr. Thomas
H. McCabe, who showed himself
to be an artist of much more than ordinary
merit His elocution was good and he
showed an ease and gracefulness in whatever
he did that made him at once a favorite
Mr.. Larry and Mr.. Joseph F. DOYLE have
always occupied conspicuous places in the
good will of Savannah's summer theatre
audiences and they are likely to continue to
hold them. They are conscientious actors
and never fail to win approval.
Miss Clara Baker met with a very warm
reception. She had double part, and it
was difficult to tell in which part she was
most appreciated. In the first part she ap-
peared as a statue, and with Miss Mollie
Maeder and Miss T. Farrer, formed a group
that excited great deal of very favorable
comment. In the second part the audience
had a chance to judge of her as an actress,
and the Judgment was very favorable The
same is true with regard to Miss Maude
White, who proved herself to be a very
charming actress.
The entertainment was an admirable one
in every respect, and If the high standard
of it is maintained throughout the season
the public will be under great obligation to
the Fords. The same bill will be presented
tonight

The Jury in the Lufburrow-M MCGOWAN
Case Finds for the Plaintiff.
The case of Lufburrow VS. MCGOWAN was
concluded in the Superior Court yesterday,
and the jury rendered a verdict giving the
plaintiff a half interest in the property, but
requiring him to pay to the defendant ST.
394 or. The court instructed the jury to
award the plaintiff the half interest. The
question before them was whether the i'm
provements upon the property were
permanent and of such a character
as TO enhance its value; if so they should
estimate their value and require the plaintiff
to pay half of their cost. The case, which
has been written up at length in the MORN
ING NEWS, involved the interest of the
heirs of Lufburrow to the property in ques-
ton, which is situated at the corner of
Drayton and Broughton streets.

READY TO BEGIN WORK.
The Grading of the Macon Short Line
to Start Monday.

to Start Monday.
Mr.. James A. Simmons, of New York,
Vice President Of the Savannah, Dublin and
Western Short Line railway, is in the city.
He is here for the purpose of seeing the
work of building commenced. Mr.. Sim
mons was not disposed TO talk much about
the project yesterday. He said that there
had been sufficient railroad building on pa
per. He stated however, thatbhe contractors,
Messrs. Carpenter, Grant, Munday q Co.,
who are TO build the road between here and
Macon, will begin work on the first fifty
miles on Monday at the junction of the new
road with the Savannah, Florida and w est
ern, short distance from Southover juno
ton.
The road, he said, will be ironed as it is
built, and as soon as twenty-five miles are
ready two locomotives and q small equip
ment of cars will be put on the line.
The road is to be built down from Macon at
the same time, and he expected cars to run
through by Nov. l from Savannah to
Macon This looks like quick work, but
Mr.. Simmons sees no difficulty in the way
of carrying out his plans.
The company has not yet arranged for
terminal facilities here, but expects
to do so before the road
is completed In the meanwhile it
is probable that arrangements will be made
to use those of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway The people on the line
of the proposed road may look for the iron
horse before the cotton crop is picked
Mr.. Carpenter, who is at the head of the
contracting firm, said that he is ready
to begin work at once, but that
a day or two longer will be required
by the engineers to locate the route to where
he expects to commence grading. He will
probably have from 500 to GOO men at work
in few weeks--as soon as the road is fully
located and everything is in shape to push
ahead with it. The road will be laid with
56-pound steel rails and will be equipped i'll
the most thorough and complete manner
